"is it safe?"........ in my opinion that depends mostly on a quality holster and a personal commitment to train, but I believe that applies to all modes of carry. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

Let me know about the production quality of the video guys!....Thanks!   -Fitty%   https://youtu.be/ReUq61aOB90

If your gun is going off when holstered, you should replace it.   Your carry gun should only fire when the trigger is pulled.  A few guns can go off without this, those are not safe to carry and usually involve antiques, home-grown-gunsmithing, worn out weapons, or other similar things none of which are safe to carry loaded in any way whatsoever.     If you gun does not fire when holstered,  you should be fine no matter what part of your body (and everyone else's) it sweeps while being worn.  I pocket carry... when I sit down, the muzzle points at other people in some places.   Its almost impossible not to have the business end point at someone (include yourself) sometimes if you are moving around being a human.   Bend over too far IWB and there it  is, near horizontal to the ground... pointing at who knows what.  Life happens.   So that means it is your responsibility to ensure the gun can't fire when holstered and in its carry location on your body.   This means working it out... practice draw / fire / reholster.   Impact test it.  Unload it and prove to yourself that it is safe.  IMHO that should be done for every gun, every holster, every change in location, etc.    You gotta know its safe.

Who knows what their motivations are.  Could be a rehearsal, could be a reconnaissance for others or general planning, or it could just be to jackasses being jackasses.  Arab kids are as immature, and prone to do dumb things as much as American kids.  The act itself certainly justifies a very thorough investigation by TBI, or even the FBI to see if there is a plan for a larger shooting, or they have any connections to something.       I had a Saudi in one of my classes last summer.  He was a smart, polite, and very well reasoned individual.  But we butted heads when discussing the Kafala System used for migrant labor when it came up in class for some reason.  He felt it was completely justified and things like the employee holding the workers passport, their work conditions, and other things that we look at as deplorable were just part of the process needed to keep their economy going.  I'd imagine it would be similar to how a slave holder might feel in America circa 1850.   A lot of these foreign students are just here for the classes and will go back home after getting a degree, not the children of immigrants who came to America to put down roots.  So, they have a lot of the home country mentalities.  As it pertains to Arab's, I've found the females are easier to socialize with as their perspectives are being opened being outside of the male dominated home, versus the males who are finding themselves in a position of having their perspectives challenged and tend to get defensive over it.

I've been carrying a pistol AIWB in a Dale Fricke Archangel since 2011ish. No issues here. Driving a car, having a surgery, taking the stairs, and AIWB carry are all safe. They each have risks that need to be addressed individually. Train more and you will be GTG.

I have certain unalienable rights endowed by The Creator!  Unfortunately, through time others do not recognize the same certain unalienable rights, because they no longer support The Creator!. 

I've watched enough "Law & Order" to know that I have a right to an attorney. :pleased:

Pretty great read here for someone looking into AIWB carry (nws)   https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?120-AIWB-%28Appendix-Carry%29    Been carrying this way for about 3 years. It does demand absolute commitment to safety and awareness, IMO.    

Professional picture sent to me by Dave of our two tone Bladed TGO TR4. I absolutely love this one, Keep in mind you have until the end of October to pay for your orders, I guarantee you this knife will never be offered again, this will be a very special blade

He's got the face for it.

I have a lot of interest in WWII and have watched a ton of documentaries, most of which has been around for a long time.   I came across a new one on Netflix streaming that was awesome - thought I would share so those interested can see it.     At Netflix, search on 'WWII from Space'

I really like the way you can see what goes on during a function check.    Its something that you try to explain to folks...., but your video shows what the check is doing.   Well Done!  :up:

You did well man, :up: :usa:

I have always felt that driving should be a right; although I acknowledge it is a privilege in every state I’m aware of. There are people who depend on driving for their very existence. For example; I don’t believe the state should be able to suspend or revoke your driver’s license for DUI. They should be able to put you in jail for it; they should be able to put you in prison for multiple offenses. You will either quit drinking and driving or know that you will go to prison. If you quit drinking and driving you will still be able to keep a job, but won’t be getting arrested all the time for driving while suspended/revoked. Another example: If you keep getting speeding tickets; the fines keep increasing or jail time kicks in. In my plan the fine would be based on your income and it would progressively hurt more until you became a careful driver. I can’t count the number of people I have seen ruined either over a DUI or getting enough points that leads to suspension, revocation, FTA, and jail. Anyone that has read my posts on DUI knows I don’t condone it in any way, and I won’t drive even after one beer. But people that have made mistakes and corrected them are sometimes caught up in a system there is no recovering from. However, no states agree with me.

I tried it once, wasn't comfortable for me, dug into my leg when sitting. I carry on my side @ 3 o'clock. Comfortable standing, walking, sitting, laying, whatever. And, of course, keep my finger, or anything else away from the trigger.

  Bass Pro in Memphis had Easton XX75 last weekend.  I assume other Bass Pros have them, too. 

No one said the UN was taking our guns... If you read the post, you'd understand this is to block weapons trade across borders and create a global registry to track guns and gun owners. Now, if we're all students of history, we could assume that registration leads to confiscation.   I won't stick my head in the sand an hope for the best on any gun control, especially global gun control being written by the Socialists International and Communists at the UN.   Meeting of the SI Council at the United Nations in Geneva: http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticleID=2326 Meeting of the SI Council at the United Nations, New York: http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticleID=2388   Communist Party USA - The fight to curb gun violence is a working-class issue: http://www.cpusa.org/the-fight-to-curb-gun-violence-is-a-working-class-issue/    Democratic Socialists of America - There Is No Second Amendment Right To A Gun: http://www.dsausa.org/there_is_no_second_amendment_right_to_a_gun   United Nations Office Of Disarmament Affairs - THE ARMS TRADE TREATY: http://www.un.org/disarmament/ATT/   And Leroy....That piece of paper called the Constitution, it only has meaning and power when the Govt and the People of the USA believe in it and are correctly educated on it. So far, that isn't happening in our schools and colleges lately, nor by a lot of politicians. So that said, the second Amendment could disappear in a blink if folks are educated and propagandized to be against it. Just read that DSA article I linked above and how they view the 2A and what they're teaching the Democratic Socialists of America subscribers and card carrying members.    For now, I feel as long as we can keep the anti-2A majority of our Democratic Socialists of American aka Democrats and Progressive RINO Republicans from having a majority rule in congress, we'll be safe.    But power shifts back and forth, so anything could happen in the next few elecctions.

Now find a holster maker.

While I was there in the '70's they always had a nice one. Neat show.

I could care less about grammer. Its less important then the messages thierself. And if u don't like your a "punk".

That worthless cowardly POS should be hung at first light. I'm pretty sure if the perp was white it would have been plastered all over the media. The political correctness makes me sick.

Part of the fun is trying new things! Go to a range that has a variety to rent, Nashville Armory is nice. Rent different ones, unless you get a super magnum revolver and don't hold it firmly you will be fine. I had always heard the .44magnum was heavy recoiling and all that. Then my buddy got one as a gift, a Ruger Super Blackhawk 7 1/2". He let me shoot it and while it did have some recoil it was VERY fun! Me personally, I don't care for shooting .22lr much anymore, part of shooting for me is the sound and recoil, 9mm minimum. Worst thing that could happen is you don't like it and go back to your .22

You're ready to move up. Don't feel like you're limited to 9mm. Find a gun that feels right in your hand, regardless of the caliber.   A 38 special revolver can be a good choice for a novice, especially since you're accustomed to shooting a revolver.  Lots of guys on TGO carry 38 specials or it's big brother, the 357. You can shoot 38 special rounds in a 357... a nice advantage to owning a 357.    I'd suggest you avoid really small guns. They're harder to aim, kick more, and jam easier. i.e., the LCP, TCP, P3-AT and the super light 9mm handguns. Great little guns, but they require extra experience to shoot well. ...oh, and they're not fun to shoot, in my opinion.    I'd also suggest that you avoid full sized guns. They look impressive, but they are heavier and harder to conceal. A good gun that you will carry daily is better than a great gun at home in a drawer.   Finally, I'd suggest you avoid Glocks. They're great handguns, but the trigger pull is short and light... not a good combination for a novice.

I have tried a lot of different carry methods and positions. I have a sack full of holsters that I never use any more. I have never tried appendix carry. My stomach muscles are too large. If it works for you then it's no a bad way to carry. It's easy to access and easy to protect (retain). I carry IWB at 3 o'clock with a BUG inside my vest or in my pocket.

Might not be if you have concerns about. I appendix carry a J-frame revolver. I feel safe doing that, but wouldn’t do it with a semi-auto. The argument comes into play when you have those that don’t think a firearm can discharge unless you pull the trigger. If you believe that; carry on. If you think any mechanical devise can fail; you might want to consider your specific set-up.

  Conscious reholstering is always a good idea. 

Sounds like Windows!

payment sent. going to need cargo pants to fit all these badazz knifes. :rock:

I have tried it and for the same reasons you mention I no longer do it. The first time I sat down while appendix carrying I realized that if the gun went off for ANY reason I would likely be dead within minutes. Carrying a firearm is supposed to save your life, not take it, if something bad happens. I applaud those of you that do but I could never do it without being a nervous wreck constantly.   I carry just like I have for 25+ years, OWB on my right side. I probably have years of training and practice with the gun in that position so I am reluctant to change. Not saying I won't change but I will say I won't change to appendix carry.   One way of carrying that has intrigued me a lot as of late is on my left side at about 10 or 11 in a cross draw type setup. Would make it easier to draw while seated, like in a vehicle, and probably no harder when not in a seated position. It would also be easier for me to conceal it as well but that is a minor concern at best because most people would never notice me carrying on my side.

This is a tempest in a tea pot... Everybody knows Kerry and Obama are tyrant wannabees... It's nothin more than red meat for the children... The UN aint gonna take anyones guns and international treaties do not trump the Constitution....   leroy

Use the right holster. Don't pull the trigger. 

Just another good reason not to go to NY.    Not that it's right what happened to her but she should have known better than trying to board a plane in NY with a gun (even in 1985).

To each his own, I dig them, here is mine

But there will be no white crowd out of control burning buildings and trampling police cars or what ever in that town.

What's the item? If I can turn this into an all-day motorcycle ride, I might be interested. I have side bags, so something the size of a full face motorcycle helmet or smaller would fit in either of them.

But I guess Trinity has no problem with Wal-Mart selling R-rated movies, violent video games, or pornographic chick-lit paperbacks?

Tell ya what I'm gonna do.  I have a super rare '42 Mosin that was made right here in Knoxville...says TGI KNOX TN right there on the barrel.  I'll let it go for $1000  :lol:

Titegroup flows through a powder measure like water and goes a LOOOOOONG way. For plinking ammo, it's tough to beat.

The FNS-9 is a great weapon I'm sure.  I think if I was buying handguns all over again I would seriously consider them for a demo.   Too bad I would have to still have to  make palm swells molded from my right and left hands deleted finger grooves apply stippling on all contact surfaces perform a grip reduction to accept compact length magazines mill a channel for a RMR buy and now possibly fit a threaded barrel to accept a 1/2x28 suppressor piston   find, buy, and install suppressor height sights Cerakote the slide after all the cutting is done I forgot about undercutting the trigger guard above so that is equal to both pistols   I'm not sure switching from Glock to FN and accepting the lower aftermarket support for things like holsters, parts and magazines makes it worth it so that I can save the 15 minutes shaving off finger grooves with my dremel.     Resale and form seem to be your concern.  Performance and function is my concern.  Many people agree with your train of thought.  Many people agree with mine.  We probably just come from very different parts of the shooting swimming pool.  No right or wrong here, just good discussion.  Thanks for the back and forth.        I hope Jaysouth hasn't been scared off from customizing HIS gun in order to satisfy HIS requirements and not be concerned that OTHER people might not approve or appreciate it.   Here, here, here and here are some great examples of premium custom glocks.  I don't see this as any different than 1911 modification, precision rifle customization, AR-15 building or any of the other hundreds of ways to turn something into "yours".     

      Next year you will see  :cool: it will be a while before I even know what options are available but it will be simple but very cool
